"Dried licorice root—an herb sometimes used to treat sore throats, respiratory and digestive problems and other disorders—might be an effective agent to fight the bacteria that cause tooth decay and periodontal disease, according to a recent study.
In the study, published in the Journal of Natural Products, author Stefan Gafner Ph.D., a researcher for the natural care products company Tom's of Maine, (a division of Colgate-Palmolive) reported that two compounds found in dried licorice root are effective antibacterial substances that can prevent the growth several major bacteria connected with cavities and gum disease.
In the study, licoricidin and licorisoflavan A inhibited two of the major bacteria responsible for dental cavities and two of the bacteria that promote gum disease and licoricidin also inhibited a third gum disease bacteria" © 2015 American Dental Association
